What is Prolegomenon on Referential Information about?

This document proposes a theory of referential information by distinguishing between Shannon entropy and Boltzmann entropy. It argues that 1) a reduction in Shannon entropy of a passive medium corresponds to a reduction in its Boltzmann entropy due to external physical work, and 2) this constraint represents a reference to the external source. For non-passive media far from equilibrium, an increase in Shannon entropy can indicate interference with the work maintaining the system, allowing reference to exter
